NOTE:  In the chart for the USA, Mars, ruling the 10^th house of the field of action and professional life, is under the 5^th aspect of transit Ketu until December 23^rd.  This may cause issues with sports, property, executives, engineering, the weather, the military, police and the country in general. Additionally, the current delays, setbacks and obstructions, (Election Results, Covid-19, Legal Challenges, etc.,) are likely due to the close impact of transit Ketu on Saturn, ruling the countryʻs 8^th house of delays, setbacks, obstructions, vulnerability, transformations and deathlike experiences. Unfortunately, this impact continues through the presidential inauguration.

Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

Sun transits Scorpio, from 03:13 to 10:17°.  Sun is outside the orb of other planets.  This should be helpful for the president, (and president-elect) leaders, physicians, administrators and governments.

Moon is waxing and transits Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and into Pisces.

Mars transits Pisces from 21:16 to 22:03°. Mars remains within 5 degrees of the 5^th aspect of Ketu, until Dec. 24^th. This is a vulnerable time for sports, surgeons, the military, police, property, construction, engineering, executives, et al. Conflicts and weather issues are also possible.

Mercury transits Libra, from 16:36 to 27:11°. Mercury is under the 8^th aspect of Mars until Nov. 25^th.  Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies and countries should be careful and patient.

Jupiter transits out of its own sign, Sagittarius, and into its debilitation sign, Capricorn on November 20^th at 1:53 a.m. This is not ideal for law, religion, education, publishing, teaching, and consulting. (President Trump Disputes Election Results and Will Not Concede.)

Jupiter in Capricorn

Venus transits its own sign, Libra, from 03:00 to 11:39°.  This should be favorable for the fine, healing and performing arts. Venus is under the 10^th aspect of Saturn until Nov. 23^rd.  Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries, however, (including USA) should be careful and patient.

Saturn transits its own sign, Capricorn, from 03:16 to 03:50°. Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign persons, companies, and countries (including USA) should be careful and patient whenever Saturn is close to any of their planets or rising sign degree, by aspect or conjunction. Saturn is weak in degrees until Dec. 7^th. There is some level of vulnerability for the masses, the elderly, and the poor and needy.

Rahu and Ketu transit Taurus and Scorpio, respectively, (where they will be until March 16, 2022) from 25:56 to 25:52°. Persons, companies and countries with a rising sign between 26 and 24 degrees — or any planets in even signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces) between these same degrees, should be careful and patient.
